Dear 10 year old me,
Your life will not turn out the way you thought it would. There's going to be years of hell and torment which will physically and mentally scar you for life. Females won't just fall at your feet, no matter how nice you are or how long you wait. I'm still not sure yet whether it'll be all worth while sticking around, but you might as well give it a shot. Oh, fyi, your parents aren't immortal. I know, shocking; it sure took me by surprise. You might want to keep that in mind when you think dad is just a big pain in the arse, because otherwise you'll likely spend the rest of your life cursing yourself, and spending every day wishing you could have just 5 more minutes with someone who'll never be there to talk to ever again.
My 40 year old self
